What is the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP)?
The National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) is an initiative aimed at eradicating tuberculosis (TB) from a country. It encompasses a comprehensive range of strategies, including surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of TB, to reduce its incidence and mortality rates. The program is aligned with international goals, such as those set by the World Health Organization (WHO) under the End TB Strategy, which aims to eliminate TB as a public health problem by 2035.
